I have no first person experience with the aqua mist systems so will leave that recommendation to one of the others that can give you feed back based on their experience.

Water has the most heat absorbing potential on a pound for pound basis, but water alcohol mixes are capable of reaching lower intake air temps due to the very rapid evaporation of the alcohols. Many start with 50/50 water alcohol mixes and then go from there to see what the engine prefers.

With the aquamist you will want to avoid [edit -- error here, corrected I got the two alcohols reversed] --- ethanol and stick with methanol if you can find it easily. Here in this country many of the Buick Grand National owners use mixes of isopropal (rubbing alcohol) with success, but it requires different fuel air mix tuning than the methanol and ethanol for best effect .

Lots of discussion on these two issues already in many of the threads here so digging through some of the other threads will likely answer a lot of your questions.


Boiling in and of itself, will not remove any of the minerals unless you set up a means to condense the steam off in a seperate container.
